Armored Warfare News

[p]Commanders![/p][p]We’re happy to announce that the Rough Riders Battle Path campaign has just begun.[/p][p][/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p][/p][p]The Rough Riders Battle Path is focused on U.S. cavalry, from its humble beginnings in the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, the Rough Riders era of the late 19th century and both world wars to its transformation to the Armored Cavalry branch after the Vietnam War. The rewards will therefore be theme-appropriate, but there’s also a different theme at play here.[/p][p]There are 50 levels of waiting for you as usual. Let’s start with the vehicles:[/p]

• [p]ELKE Tier 7 Premium LT for reaching Level 20 (featuring an elevated weapons station allowing you to ambush your enemies with ease)[/p]
• [p]RDF/LT Ares Tier 8 Premium LT for reaching Level 35 (featuring powerful missile launchers as well as 75mm gun)[/p]
• [p]XM1302 Tier 10 Premium LT for reaching Level 50 (featuring new “Mitigation” passive ability – the faster you go, the less damage you take)[/p]

[p]There of course are new epic skins based on real-life vehicles, such as:[/p]

• [p]M60A3 “Crustacean” for the M60A3[/p]
• [p]M3A2 Cavalry Vehicle for the M2 Bradley[/p]
• [p]IPM1 “Danger Zone” for the M1 Abrams[/p]

[p]Each comes with its unique story of U.S. service. New camouflages, decals and base paints will also come with this Battle Path.[/p][p]You can review the prizes in the following article.[/p][p][/p][h2]Accessing the Battle Path[/h2][p][/p][p]In order to join the Battle Path campaign, please enter the game and click on the Rough Riders icon on the upper bar.

[p]Commanders![/p][p]We would like to remind you that, much like during the previous Battle Path campaigns, the Battle Coins acquired during the Shadow Protocol Battle Path will not carry over.[/p][p][/p][p]Please make sure you spend your remaining Battle Coins before the end of the Shadow Protocol Battle Path (July 22, 5:00 CEST)![/p][p]Furthermore, please make sure you open any and all in-game Battle Path loot crates containing Shadow Protocol Battle Coins. It will not be possible to use them in the next Battle Path.[/p][p]We hope that you enjoyed this Battle Path campaign and, as always:[/p][p]See you on the battlefield![/p]

[p]Commanders![/p][p][/p][p]Since the Rough Riders Battle Path is coming soon and we’d like to take one more look at its weird and cool vehicles that you’ll have the opportunity to obtain soon.[/p][p]First is the ELKE. While a combination of an unmanned turret and a light hull might seem unremarkable first, it is anything but. The most important part of the vehicle is, of course, its ability to depress and elevate its gun using a complex system. Here you can see it in action. The vehicle boasts -25/+20 depression and elevation angles.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p][/p][p]And then there is the incredibly powerful (for its Tier) 75mm gun that is basically a crossbreed between a regular gun and an autocannon. Indeed, it is capable of automatic fire:[/p][p][/p][p][/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p][/p][p]This light tank will be capable of tremendous speed but it will also allow you to ambush your enemies while taking cover behind a hill thanks to that elevated gun. What will be your tactic of choice? You decide.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p][/p][p]The RDF/LT Ares is somewhat similar to the ELKE, but instead of focusing on the gun (which remains awesome despite being a Tier higher), it adds guided missiles to the equation. The regular missiles are nothing to scoff at, but the high-explosive Stinger missiles are devastating.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p][/p][p]Fast and deadly, the Ares will decimate all opposition of played correctly.[/p][p]And last but not least, we have the XM1302 on the top Tier. Here, the highlight of the tank (aside from its firepower and mobility) will be its new ability, “Mitigation” – this ability allows the vehicle to take reduced damage when moving fast, as demonstrated below:[/p][p][/p][p][/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p][/p][p]We aim to make the XM1302 one of the most powerful vehicles of Armored Warfare thanks to its combination of a rapid-firing cannon and great mobility. This vehicle will be perfect for players who prefer not to stand still, but instead dart around the battlefield, aiding their allies or even single handedly decimating whole squads of enemies in a relentless assault.[/p][p]And that’s about it, commanders, now you know everything about the next Battle Path. Well... almost everything, as we have one or two surprises left for you. But for now, saddle up because the event is about to start and, as always:[/p][p]See you on the battlefield![/p]

[p]Commanders![/p][p]On July 6, the Summer Screenshot contest has ended. In this contest, we asked you to make summer-themed screenshots and submit them to our dedicated Discord channel.
